Living life one day at a time…

I seriously cannot believe that a FULL EIGHT days have gone by since I last worked…it seems like I just got home from the hospital yesterday. Why do vacations always go by so fast?

Regardless, it was another busy day.

Spent about 3 1/2 hours in the basement finishing up everything. Got through pretty much all the areas that I wanted to. But it doesn’t look like much progress since so much stuff still needs to come out of the basement. I’ll take pics tomorrow so you can see. There is the big pile of stuff to go to Saver’s (donation place), another big pile of trash, a bunch of bulk pick up items, a pile of old paint cans that will need to be disposed of, and of course the ratty carpet to pull up.

So…once all of that is done, I’m sure it will look like we did a lot more.

After doing that, we ate a quick lunch and then I took a much-needed shower. Working in the basement is dusty and dirty!

A quick call to my mom to wish her a happy birthday 🙂 She was out with my dad, looking at new cars…wouldn’t that be a sweet birthday gift?! Expensive I’m sure!

We are in the midst of getting some pretty nasty thunderstorms right now so our dog is hiding out under the bed 🙂

If the rain stops, we’ll be heading out for a birthday celebration!

Enjoy my favorites from the web this week…

A favorite blog…I’ve been reading Daily Garnish for a very long time…I love reading about Emily’s family and her culinary creations…she has such an easy writing style and I always look forward to reading her posts!

I’m actually envious of your basement cleaning. I would probably need a good week to get through ours. At this point I think it’s on the to do list for September when my son starts full day kindergarten along with about 50 other things.

About Me

Hello and welcome to my blog. My name is Kaye, and I live in the New England state of Massachusetts. This blog follows my life, day by day. You are SURE to read about my partner Kimm, our cats, Charlie (aka Mr. Man) and Madeline (or as we call her, The Queen), our newly adopted 3-year-old lab, Izzy, my nursing career, the food we eat, and our endeavors in fixing up our newly purchased home (yep, we finally bought a house in 2008 after dreaming about it for MANY years!).

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy my random postings...
